Sailor Moon Chrysalis - Part 6
At a coffee shop, Haruka and Setsuna are listening to Michiru as she tells
of yesterday's events at Rei's temple.
"So it appears, after what Ami told me," she continues, "that these enemies
need the essence' of Beryl's four generals, to release the so-called, Lord
of the Abyss."
"We definitely don't want that..", Setsuna states.
"No.", Haruka says looking toward Michiru. "We have to stop it from being
released at any cost."
"Should we get Ami and Wren into this?", Michiru says.
"No, this is too personal for them. They might get hurt being too
impulsive", Haruka says. "Looks who's taking!", a voice chirps up.
"Why hello there Wren.", Setsuna says.
"Hi!", she says looking at the three of them, Mamoru is standing next to
her and close by is Ami, who holds Luna in her arms. Artemis is lying on
Wren's shoulder.
Haruka is about to speak but Wren interrupts her. "I'll make this quick,",
she says, "Ami has filled us in on yesterdays events and the prophecy that
is needed to release this so- called Lord of the Abyss. Whatever you are
planing to do, I'm coming along. They were my friends to you know."
Ami steps forward. "I have to go", Ami says. "I'm the only one who has any
idea where Kunzite died."
"And I want to see this to the end.", Mamoru says, "No matter what the
cost."
"Well since your all going, I might as well go too", Artemis says. "Are you
going to come as well Luna?"
"Well, if your going Artemis.", Luna says. "Then I'm coming along too", she
looks around. "I mean it would be pretty boring around here without the
rest you here to keep me company."
Setsuna gets up from her seat, "Since we're all decided on this, we'd
better get going. They could be very close to it."
"How do we know this isn't a wild goose chase or a trap?", Wren says.
Haruka looks at her, "Do you have any better ideas?"
"No."
"Then don't complain."
"I was just stating what's likely to be probable.", she says looking a bit
smug.
"You two will have lots of time to argue later.", Michiru says. "We have
other things to be considered right now."
"Yes,", Wren says as they are heading out the door, "Like how are we going
to get there?"
"Why,", Michiru says casually "Use the Sailor Teleport of course."
"The what?", Wren says looking slightly confused by this statement.
---------------------------------------------------------
In the back of Haruka's and Michiru house, they have all transformed into
their costumes. They are preparing themselves for what lies ahead. Wren is
talking with Luna, Sailor Mercury is listening to their conversation.
"Are you sure this 'Sailor teleport' thing will work Luna? I mean me and
Tuxedo Mask don't even qualify as scouts, and were taking you two along."
"This should work we have 4 scouts and your magical ability should be
enough to carry us there."
"Should?", Wren says.
"Don't worry, Magus.", Sailor Mercury says, "We should get their fine."
"O.K. Mercury if you have enough belief in this, then I'll go along with
it."
"Are you ready do this", Neptune says walking over to them.
"Well I am.", Wren says.
"There's no time like the present.", Magus says.
"Wait!", a male voice says running toward them. It's Urawa.
"Urawa!", Mercury says looking quite surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to wish you luck,", he says, "and to give you this.", and he
kisses her on the cheek. Mercury blushes.
"All right score one for Mercury!", Magus says.
"Magus...", Mercury says looking quite embarrassed.
"I don't know if I ever see you again, Ami..", Urawa says.
"Don't worry.", she says. "I'll be back soon. This is something I just have
to do."
"I understand.", he says.
"Are you ready to go now Mercury?", Uranus says.
"Don't rush her. We were like that once.", Neptune says.
Uranus smiles, "We still are."
"I not going to get into that one..", Magus says. "Shall we do this?"
"I'm ready for whatever lies ahead.", Tuxedo Mask says.
"O.K. then.", Luna says, "Just do the teleport like you normally would,
with Tuxedo Mask and Wren in the circle and me and Artemis in the middle."
"Right.", Wren says liking hands with Mercury and Tuxedo Mask, holding his
hand especially tight. Neptune holding Tuxedo's other hand, with Uranus
holing her hand and Pluto joining hands with her and Mercury and the two
cats in the center. They begin to concentrate. Energy flares up around them
causing their hair to float up slightly and the ground around them to
shift. Urawa watches as they fade out leaving no trace of their presence
except for the cracks in the ground.
"Why do I have this felling I'll never see her again.", he says walking
away.
---------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere at the Cherry Hill Temple, Yuuichirou is repairing and cleaning
up after last nights events. Currently he is finishing sweeping up the
debris while grandpa is resting.
"What a commotion last night was.", he says to no one in particular. "And I
still don't believe...", he shakes his head. "No, it was impossible."
Suddenly a funny felling comes over him. "What?", he says looking around
and an unfamiliar energy causes his hair to begin to rise, and the ground
stones around him to shift. "What the f...", he begins to say but
disappears...
---------------------------------------------------------
The Sailor Scouts arrive somewhere in the in the arctic circle. Sailor
Mercury has her computer out and her visor on, currently scanning the area,
Luna is over her shoulder watching her work. Meanwhile, Artemis is looking
around staying close to the scouts.
"See", Neptune says looking around the desolate landscape. "We made it
fine."
"We'd better be ready for anything.", Uranus says.
As if to fulfill those words, they hear yelling coming from above them.
"Look out!", Mercury says as something smashes into the snow. Uranus and
Neptune get into a combative stance. Ready to face whatever has landed
there.
"Ouch... Jeez.", a male voice says coming up from the impact site. A young
man in a priestly outfit gets up. His unkempt hair covers his eyes
slightly.
"Yuuichirou?", Mercury says.
He looks around. "Wow.", he says brushing the snow off of him. "That was
some trip."
He looks up and sees Sailor Mercury, Neptune and Uranus looking at him,
needles to say he is quite surprised.
"Hey!", he says, "You're the Sailor Scouts.", he look over to Tuxedo Mask.
"Don't know who you are."
"Maybe you should be a better agent Tux.", Magus says slightly grinning.
"Where am I anyway?", Yuuichirou asks looking around.
"In the arctic.", Mercury states.
"I'm in the arctic", he says, "No way. This has go to be a dream or
something."
"No dream, this is reality.", Uranus says.
"How did you get here anyway?", Neptune says.
"That's what I like to know. One minute in cleaning up at the temple, then
this weird energy surrounds me and before I know it I'm falling from the
sky and end up here."
"That almost sounds like the.", Luna says.
"Hey!", Yuuichirou says interrupting her, "That cat just talked! This must
be a dream. I 'm leaving", and he starts to walk quickly away from the
group.
"Should we stop him?", Sailor Mercury says.
"Where is he going to go?", Sailor Pluto says.
He start to disappear over the hill. There is the sound of gunfire and he
start to run back. "Help!", he says running back up the hill and following
him a 4 snowmobiles with 2 men on each. They are armed with sub-machine
guns.
"World Shaking!", Uranus says, and launches a ball of energy at one of the
snowmobile's hitting it in the front causing to explode sending the 2 men
on in flying.
Magus stops Yuuichirou from running any further. "You stay here and keep a
eye on these cats.", she says, "We'll take care of these characters."
She launches a fireball at another of the snowmobiles, destroying it.
"Maybe I should help.", Yuuichirou says.
Mercury, who's staying out of this fight, "Not much you can do here
Yuuichirou."
"Not quite.", he says and takes out this stick with the symbol of Mars on
it, and says. "Mars Star Power! Make up!"
Artemis' mouth drops open.
Luna just stares in disbelief.
Sailor Mercury just watches as he goes through the whole transformation
sequence into the Sailor Mars costume.
"Ahh!", he says looking at his costume. "I really need to get a better
one!", he sees one of the snowmobiles coming toward them "Fire Soul!", he
says and shoots a fireball toward the snowmobile destroying it.
The last driver of the snowmobile, seeing that his companions were
destroyed with the greatest of ease, turns and starts to speed away.
"World..", Uranus begins, but Neptune puts her hand on her shoulder, "Wait
Uranus, he can lead us to their base."
"I got a trace on him.", Mercury says.
"Well," Magus says looking a Yuuichirou, who is very embarrassed by his
costume, "Now we've got 2 guys as Sailor Scouts."
Uranus gives her a cold stare.
"So your to one who saved us yesterday..", Mercury says.
"Yes.", Yuuichirou who is Sailor Mars., "I'm quite new at this so just bare
with me.", he looks slightly embarrassed.
"We'd better discuss this at a later time", Luna says.
"Yes, we'd better follow him quickly before he can warn anyone else that we
are here.", Pluto says.
"Let's get going then", Sailor Uranus says, starting to run in the
direction that the snowmobile went. Sailor Neptune and Pluto quickly follow
her.
"That fool..", Magus says, she looks at Tuxedo Mask "Well we had better
follow them. Who knows what kind of trouble they could get into.", and she
starts to follow them. She looks back toward Mercury and the new Sailor
Mars, "You two coming or are you going to just stand there and turn into
popsicles?"
"Don't worry.", Luna says looking toward Yuuichirou, "This may be very
strange and unusual but I think you will get the hang of this very fast."
"I hope so.", and he start to run after Mercury the two cats quickly run
ahead of him.
"Wait up!", he says. "I don't know how you people walk in these high
heels!"

Sailor Uranus, Neptune a Pluto arrive to where the snowmobile went. They
find a very large sloping crater at the bottom, there is what appears to be
the wreckage of the snowmobile, it is torn to pieces. Near the wreckage is
a body that looks like it's been torn to shreds as well.
"What could have done that?", Neptune says.
"Nothing human.", Sailor Pluto says.
"You're quite right.", a young female voice says, and an invisible force
knocks them down. A young girl about 10 or 11 with short black hair,
wearing jeans and a T-shirt walks out of nowhere toward the Sailor Scouts.
"Who are you?", Uranus says trying to get up but cannot. Neptune and Pluto
are also pinned to the ground.
She looks at them. "I wouldn't try to get up. I may have to hurt you.", she
says quite causally, "As for who I am. They call me Ishtar."
She pulls out a gold dagger from one of her pockets. "And now I have to
kill you" she says.
A rose flies and hits Ishtar in the foot. She screams in pain, and the hold
on Sailor Uranus and the others is released and they quickly get up and
back off from her. The rose is pulled out of her foot my something unseen,
and floats there in the air. "Who threw that?", she asks looking around,
seeing Tuxedo Mask, Magus, Mercury and Yuuichirou. "You'll pay for that!",
she says and she looks toward them and the ground underneath them gives
way. Tuxedo Mask jumps toward her his cane extended, the others scramble
away from the collapsing ground. Ishtar quickly extends her hand toward the
leaping Tuxedo Mask. A force pushes him away, but he manages to recover.
"Great an esper.", Magus states.
Ishtar looks around quite smugly at the Sailor scouts. "You're a little
late Sailor Soldiers. You see we got Kunzite's essence, a little while
ago."
"Shit!", Sailor Uranus says.
"So it looks like you trip out here was for nothing."
"You think you can defeat all of us?", Neptune says.
"No," Ishtar says. "But with a little help from my friends..", and the air
behind her shimmers and behind her are 20 men all armed with guns and a
military helicopter. "Ready to give up Sailor Scouts?", she says.
"Only 20 of you?" Magus says. "I've had worse odds."
"Kill them.", Ishtar says and gunfire erupts in the area and everyone
scatters.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!", Mercury says and a stream of water shoots toward
the helicopter hitting the blades, freezing them. They shatter and the
helicopter plummets toward the ground behind them, exploding on contact.
"Nice one.", Magus says, tossing a fireball toward some of their attackers.
They start to head away for their attackers while Pluto, Uranus and Neptune
do their attacks against their foes. As they pass near to the wreckage of
the helicopter, the sound of metal sheering comes from it and a large 7th
man with long brown hair and large muscles walks out of the wreckage. His
light brown leather clothing is smoking and his shirt is falling off. He
carries a sword on his back which is almost is large as he is.
"You ruined my favorite shirt.", he says rather calmly taking out his
sword.
Tuxedo Mask throws a couple of roses at him, he strikes them all down with
his sword. "Roses?", he says, "You were going to hurt me with roses.? I
think not.", and he swings his sword toward them yelling, "Energy slash!"
and a force knocks Mercury, and Yuuichirou back slightly. Tuxedo and Magus
manage to protect themselves.
Magus throws a fireball toward him, it make a direct hit, but it just burns
off what is remaining of his shirt. He starts to walk toward them. "I am
Gilgamesh, and you cannot hurt me." He swings his sword toward Magus and
she dodges out of the way.
"Afraid to fight me like a man, girl?", he says.
"But I'm not.", Tuxedo Mask says.
"I think you have other problems.", he says not even looking toward him,
"Like what's behind you."
Tuxedo Mask turns around in time to parry a spear. "Your mine Endymion!", a
voice says.
"Nergal!", Tux says.
They begin to fight parrying each other blows.
"Tuxedo Mask!", Magus.
"Your my fighting partner girl.", Gilgamesh says.
Suddenly Luna leaps onto his face slashing him with her claws.
"Get off me!", he says and grabs Luna and throws her to the ground.
"Luna!", Artemis yells and goes over to her she manages to stand up slowly.
You'll pay for that!" Yuuichirou says "Burning Mandala!", he says firing a
number of energy disks toward him, "Energy slash!", Gilgamesh says
countering it and knocking Yuuichirou back a distance.
"Now you fight me little girl.", Gilgamesh says and Magus creates a sword
getting ready to fight.
---------------------------------------------------------
Nearby, Ishtar is watching Sailor Uranus Neptune and Pluto take out the
remainder of their combatants.
"Their quite good.", she states.
"Dead Scream.", Pluto says and a energy ball is fired toward her but she
puts up a wall of rock and it takes the damage of the attack.
"Nice try.", Ishtar says looking toward Pluto and the ground heaves up from
beneath her but she manages to dodge out of the way.
Neptune looks back to see Magus in combat with a large man and Tuxedo Mask
fighting someone with a spear, he is having no success at hitting him.
"This is pointless!", Neptune says looking toward Uranus, "I think it's
time to regroup. Deep Submerge!", she says and a green energy ball builds
up in her hands and shoots it toward the man Tuxedo Mask is fighting, it
hits him and knocks him away from him. Neptune begins to head in that
direction.
"Oh no you don't!", Ishtar says.
"World Shaking!", Uranus says shooting an attack toward her but again she
blocks it with a wall of earth.
By then Uranus and Neptune have rejoined Tuxedo Mask and Pluto is getting
ready to join Magus in her fight.
Gilgamesh looks at them all. "Ishtar get me out of this.", he says and he
shimmers for a second appearing next to her. Nergal is standing near to
them.
"Time to finish this.", Ishtar says, and from a distance behind the heros,
a large wall of snow starts to head toward them.
"Run!", Pluto says and they being to run down the side of the crater.
Yuuichirou turns toward the wall of snow. "Fire.", he begins to say but is
soon buried in the snow.
"Yuuichirou!", Mercury says looking back but Uranus grabs her hand and
pushes her into a cavern. Then the snow overtakes them.
"Their finished.", Ishtar says and she begins to laugh.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Ami", a faint voice says, "Ami", and she begins to open her eyes. Looking
up she sees Michiru and Luna sitting next her.
"I was a bit worried for a few minutes there.", Luna says
She looks around, "What happened?", she says seeing that she is in a small
run-down building of some sort.
"I remember there was an avalanche and... Yuuichirou. Where is he?"
"We don't know..", Michiru says.
Ami looks around and sees Haruka looking out a small window and Setsuna
standing near to the door.
"How did we get here? and where's Wren and Mamoru and Artemis?"
"First things first, before the snow could overtake us, Wren manage to open
a dimensional portal to wherever here is. She and Mamoru have gone out to
take a look around. As for Artemis..", tears start to run down Luna eyes
and she begins to sob. "I should have never let him.", she says, "That
stupid fool!"
"I'm so sorry Luna..", and holds her tight, and she begins to cry.
"Their returning.", Setsuna says.
Wren and Mamoru come in through the door, both are carrying swords at their
sides.
"Well I got good news and I have bad news.", Wren says.
"What the good news?", Haruka asks.
"We not being followed."
"And the bad news?", Setsuna asks.
"Were in the Dark Kingdom...", she says, "or what's left of it."
